從傷痛中得到成就

Attain Accomplishment from Being Hurt

」

當我們受到傷，遭受痛苦的時候，也許會很鬱悶，甚至覺得天塌地陷一般地陷入絕望。其實，傷害或痛苦也有很多功德，這些是無價之寶。

When we get hurt or suffer pains, we maybe feel upset, even feeling in despair like the collapse of heaven and earth. In fact, getting hurt or pains can also bring merits, which is priceless treasure.

第一、通過這些傷害和痛苦，你可以對輪迴、對世間生起厭離心。

Firstly, with the help of this hurt and pains, you can arouse the renunciation mind.

以前佛在世的時候，身邊的那些弟子們是怎樣接觸佛法，怎樣進入佛門，怎樣獲得成就，怎樣成就阿羅漢的？很多都是通過一些坎坷或挫折而成就的。現在我們也是這樣，很多人都是經歷了一些坎坷或挫折後才接觸佛法，走進佛門。

During the Buddha』s time, how did the disciples get in touch with Buddhism, become Buddhists, get achievements and become Arhats? Many of them got enlightened by experiencing ups and downs. Similarly nowadays, lots of people meet Buddhism and become Buddhists after ups and downs.

我怕的就是你們覺察不到苦。若是你覺察或感覺到了苦，才會對世間、對輪迴生起厭離心。當你知道輪迴苦、人間苦，當你遭受痛苦，受到傷害的時候，應該去找它的根源。自己為什麼痛苦？為什麼受到傷害？因為自己在六道中輪迴，由業力的牽引所導致的。這樣，你才會生起真正的厭離心。如果真正能生起厭離心或出離心，解脫就容易了。

What I』m worried about is that you can』t feel pains. Only when you realize or feel pains, can you arouse the renunciation about the mundane world and samsara. When you get aware of the pains of samsara and the mundane world, or when you suffer pains or get hurt, you should go to look for the source. Why do you feel painful? Why do you get hurt? Because you are experiencing samsara in the six realms dragged by karmas. This way, you will arouse real renunciation, with which it is easy to get liberated.

第二、受到傷害、遭受痛苦是好事，可以遣除驕傲自滿的情緒。

Secondly, it』s good to get hurt or suffer pains because it can help eliminate arrogance.

有的人覺得自己有文化、有勢力，生活很好，就驕傲自滿。其實，即使你文化再高，知識再淵博，也都是分別念而已，不離煩惱；即使你勢力再大，再有錢財，也都是一種壓力，是一種心靈的負擔。

Some people feel arrogant due to their education, power or good life. Actually, even if you have a better education, it』s just a kind of conceptual thoughts, together with afflictions. Even you have greater power or more wealth, these are just stress and burden in mind.

你之所以會遭受痛苦、受到傷害，是因為自己的煩惱重、業力重。若是你能認識到這一點，就能遣除傲慢心。自己的煩惱那麼重，內心那麼骯髒；自己的業障這麼重，做了那麼多的壞事。這樣認識，就不會貢高傲慢了，心態就低了下來，自然就有慚愧心了，這樣就降伏了傲慢心。

You suffer from pains and get hurt because of the heavy afflictions and negative karmas. If you can realize it, you can eliminate arrogance. You have heavy afflictions and foul heart; your karmic obscuration is heavy and you have done lots of bad things. Realizing it this way, you will be free from arrogance and conceit, your attitude will be down to the earth, naturally with shame, and eventually, your arrogance will be subdued.

第三、自己遭受痛苦、受到傷害時，觀察身邊乃至一切眾生，發現他們所遭受的痛苦更大，所受到的傷害更嚴重，慈悲心自然就生起來了。

Thirdly, while suffering pains and getting hurt, observe the beings around you and you will find they are suffering more pains and getting more hurt, then your compassion will arise.

若是與六道中輪迴的眾生，尤其是與三惡道中的眾生相比，我們所遭受的痛苦和傷害算什麼啊？不用說餓鬼道和地獄道的眾生，旁生道的眾生所受的痛苦都是我們親眼能看到的，那些動物天天無緣無故地被殺、被吃，與此相比，我們受到的這點痛苦、傷害算什麼呢？

Compared with the beings cycling in samsara of six realms, especially the ones in the three evil realms, what are our pains and hurt? We can see the pains of the beings from the animal realm---they are killed and eaten every day for no reason at all, let alone the pains of those in the hungry ghost realm or the hell realm. Compared with them, do your pains and hurt mean much?

我們在自己遭受痛苦，受到傷害的同時，可以思維身邊的眾生所遭受的痛苦，尤其是三惡道的眾生所受到的傷害，這樣自然就能生起慈悲心。

While suffering pains and getting hurt, think about the beings around you, especially the pains of the beings from the three evil realms, and in this way, your compassion will arise naturally.

第四，「羞惡」：遭受痛苦、受到傷害，可以讓自己懺悔，斷除惡業。

Fourthly, shame—suffering from pains and hurt can make oneself confess and stop bad karmas.

作為一個真正的修行人，他會去找痛苦的根，如是因，如是果。之所以遭受痛苦、受到傷害，這是自己造惡業、結惡緣的結果。若想解決這個問題，想擺脫這樣的痛苦，就要從因地入手，不能再造惡業了，不能再結惡緣了。否則，將來還會遭受更大的痛苦和傷害。

As a real practitioner, he will go to look for the roots of pains, for a certain effect is due to a certain cause. The reason for the pains and hurt is the result of one』s negative karmas and bad connections with others. In order to solve the problem and break away from the pains, one should start from the cause, and never create bad karmas and bad connections any more. Otherwise, one is to suffer more pains and hurt.

第五，「樂行善」：我們所遭受的痛苦和傷害，還能幫助我們歡喜行善。

Fifthly, it』s helpful to do good. The pains we suffer can help us do good and get fond of doing good.

既然已經找到了遭受痛苦和傷害的根源，怎樣才能擺脫這樣的因緣，脫離這樣的痛苦呢？就是要行善。如果自己能行持善法，能處處結善緣的話，將來就不用遭受痛苦，再也不會受到傷害了。

Since the roots of pains have been found, how can one get rid of that kind of karma and break away from pains? The answer is to do good. If one can perform the good deeds and create good connections, he will never suffer pains and get hurt.

如果你有智慧、會轉變心態，所謂的傷害也是極大的利益，所謂的痛苦也是極大的快樂。關鍵在於你怎麼看，怎麼面對。所謂學佛修行，不是只念一部經、只持一個咒就可以了，無論是念經，還是念咒，都是為了開啟智慧，都是為了指導自己的內心，沒有別的作用。

If you have wisdom and know how to transform mind, the so-called hurt is in fact extreme benefit; the so-called pains are extreme happiness. The key is what to think about it and how to face it. As to learning Buddhism and practicing, it is not enough to chant only one sutra or one mantra, either of which is meant to get wisdom and guide one』s heart, without other use.
